but how to do the opposite way?

in order to verify the owner of hive and hive group?

Answer 1

You can execute the sample command ls

 hdfs dfs -ls /path

And from here this is expected result:

For a file returns stat on the file with the following format:

permissions number_of_replicas userid groupid filesize modification_date modification_time filename

For a directory it returns list of its direct children as in Unix. A directory is listed as:

permissions userid groupid modification_date modification_time dirname
